Simone Biles isn’t just soaring through the air anymore—she’s redefining style on the ground too. A few weeks back, the iconic gymnast made a bold statement at the 2025 Met Gala, arriving hand-in-hand with her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens. The duo didn’t simply attend—they dominated the red carpet. Simone stunned in a sleek, custom creation by Herbison, while Jonathan complemented her perfectly in a refined suit from Nigerian label Deji & Kola. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” wasn’t just a fashion guideline—it was a tribute. For Simone, it carried a deep personal meaning. Not long after, she posed a new question.

On May 13, Simone Biles turned to social media with a fashion emergency—she had her eye on the coveted $5,500 Chanel 25 Small Handbag, but it was nearly impossible to track down. The exclusive piece was practically extinct in stores, leaving even an Olympic legend like Simone in the lurch. But that wasn’t the last time her love for fashion came with a twist.

Fast forward to June 3: Simone posted a cheeky Instagram Story that had fans laughing and fashion lovers nodding in sympathy. Pictured in a dramatically oversized faux leather jacket from KHY by Kylie Jenner, Simone looked stylish—but swallowed. Her hilarious caption read,  “ms. kylie jenner this is a crime!!!!!! this is not XXS/XS.” However, the $138-priced jacket has made its place for its presence and manufacturing details.

The product description paints a clear picture: “boxy, ultra-oversized blazer with a drop shoulder and flap pockets,” crafted from premium textured faux leather—100% PU to be exact. According to KHY’s size guide, shoppers are encouraged to stick with their usual size, though a note suggests sizing down for those preferring a less exaggerated silhouette. That’s likely where Simone Biles ran into trouble.

Despite ordering the XXS/XS, the blazer seemed to drown the 4’8″ Olympic powerhouse and the post came. But she didn’t stop there. In a follow-up post, Simone poked more fun at the situation by reposting a photo of Gigi Hadid in an enormous Vetements x Tommy Hilfiger hoodie. The hoodie looked more like a blanket than a fashion piece—eerily similar to how Simone Biles felt in the oversized KHY blazer. The caption? “this is me on the last slide, SICK.” However, the comparison was hilarious and spot-on, making her followers chuckle at the fashion mishap.

Ironically, this wasn’t Simone’s first rodeo with the blazer. Last year, she wore the very same piece on The Kelly Clarkson Show—and it fit like a dream. So what changed? Likely a sizing shuffle or variation in production. But one thing’s for sure—this blazer isn’t the only KHY piece Simone’s rocked. The 11-time Olympic medalist has made Kylie Jenner’s fashion line a go-to in her style rotation. And while one piece may have missed the mark, Simone’s ability to turn a fashion flop into a viral moment? That’s pure gold. And believe her, she has been using products from Kylie Jenner’s brand for a long time.
